He authored a no-hit no run game as Georgetown High blanked Lewes High, 7-0 in Lewes.

It was the season's baseball opener for both schools. The 18-year-old, 6-2, 180-pound senior lefthander was just about the whole show, having a hand in COSTEN SHOCKLEY Sports By ED NICHOLS It's Baseball Pickin' Time Again Colavito, Tito Francona, Woody Held, Vic Power, Bubba Phillips and Temple should keep the Indians in a challenging position throughout. The 1960 Detroit Tigers are essentially the same combine that started off so poorly spring. Still, they bounced back under the leadership of Jimmy Dykes to finish fourth. The Tigers have made two changes Chico Fernandez at shortstop Bilko at first base.

Fernandez' glove is expectglue to the upthe-middle defense. Bilko is depended upon to supply the much needed long ball. Detroit's biggest weakness last year besides the need of the long ball was a strong bench, which could be available this season with Casey Wise, Rocky Bridges, Steve Boros and Gail Harris. The front line pitching is solid. There may not be a better foursome in the league than Frank Lary, Jim Bunning, Paul Foytack and Don Mossi.

Bullpen strength is depended upon the return to form of Ray Narleski. Detroit lost 17 games last season by blowing leads after the sixth inning. There's evidence of unstable relief pitching. Paul Richards has patterned a young ball club ideally suited to the wide pastured Baltimore's Memorial Stadium, That is, strong pitching, tight defense, with an occasional burst of hitting strength. This type of a ball club puts an exceptional burden on a pitching Fortunately, the Birds have an abundance of this commodity.

There's Milt Pappas, Jerry Walker, Jack Fisher and Chuck Estrada, all under 22. Then there are veterans Hoyt Wilhelm, Skinny Brown, Rip Coleman and Billy Hoeft. It's asking too much of a pitcher, especially the youngsters, to know they will not be given more than two runs per nine innings. That was the case last year. This is a year of experimentation for the Orioles.

Should shortstop Ron Hansen and Marv Breeding fail to deliver at the middle sack or Chuck Estrada and Jack game. He whiffed 19 and pegged out two other batsmen on be to the mound. At times it looked as though Shockley was having a game of catch with his batterymate Johnny Abbott as he retired the side five times on strikes. Shockley walked four. HIS ONLY unsteady moment came in the fifth inning when loading the sacks via a pair of free passes and a hit batsmen.

He got out of the jam by fanning Ed Buck. That was the only frame that Lewes High got a runner past first base. Shockley, a lefthanded batter, who plays first base when not toeing the mound, also was the leading batter of the day, two singles in three official trips. Both were drives into center field. Johnny Morris, his southpaw pitching opponent, also being eyed as big league timber, was noticeably less effective while giving up six hits.

He struckout 12 and issued five free tickets to first base. HIS BIG problem appeared to be control of his fast ball which was fired high most of the way. Eight times the Georgetown bat- Wicomico Jr. High Tossers Top Pittsville Wicomico Junior High pushed across two runs in the eighth inning yesterday to edge out a 4-3 overtime win over Pittsville High. Mike Hoch bested Russell Combs in a mive-hit mound duel.

Hoch also helped his own cause along with a homer. His batterymate, Bib Skinner also belted a circuit blast. Walt Layfield homered for Pittsville High. Hoch and Skinner each contributed two hits to share the local batting honors. The only other extra base blow of the day was a two-bagger by shortstop Eddie Wilkins of the visitors.

"Earlier I predicted the eventual shot put limitation would be 67 or 68 feet," said the 242-pound ex-Kansas who last week threw 65 feet 7 inches. "Now I don't know. I realize there will be boys bigger and stronger than myself.

They'll be just as well coordinated, if not better. If I can throw 65 feet now, the barrier won't, be the 67 or 68."

THE VISITING Golden Knights picked up a solo counter in the second inning when Tony Keen walked, stole second base, and legged it to third on a overthrow. Johnny Abbott scored him with a single. A cluster of four runs were scored in the third stanza. The key blows were singles by Wayne Rust and Shockley plus a base cleaning double off the bat of Bruce Penuel. Two more unearned tallies were picked up in the fifth via an infield error.

The homesters packed all of their scoring punch in the opening frame when collecting five of their eight hits.

They included singles by Howard Darby, Smoot, Jack Mitchell and Mike Glasgow plus Howard Griffith's two bagger.

(AP) Don Zimmer, for six years a hollerguy infielder with the Dodgers, is now a Chicago Cub. He was traded by Los Angeles Thursday night in a deal that gave the world champions three Cub farmhands from Houston of the American Assn. The Cubs hope the 29-year-old Zimmer will plug a third base gap in the Chicago infield. They'll get their look at the scrappy ex-Dodger today when the Cubs meet the St. Louis Cardinals, who' also were bidding for Zimmer.

The Dodgers got outfielder Lee Handley, 25; infielder Johnny Goryl, 28, and left-hander Ron Perranoski. They were assigned to Dodger farm club at Montreal. This is the time of year one makes a fool of himself and bravely picks the finish of the major league pennant races. Cm'on and join the fun. Make your choices now.

Don't wait until Oct. 1. So, let's leadoff with the American League. The expected order of finish: 1. Chicago 2.

New York 3. Cleveland 4. Detroit 5. Baltimore 6. Kansas City 7.

Boston 8. Washington It was our opinion after the 1959 World Series that the White Sox would not repeat. But the strengthening by trades should enable Al Lopez to win by a more comfortable margin than he did last year. With shrewd swapping, Chicago improved by adding punch without weakening strong pitching, slowing up its "go-go" type of offense or affecting a tight defense. No, Early, Wynn is not expected to repeat his 22-win total.

Still, the addition of outfielders Minnie Minoso and Roy Sievers. and third baseman Gene Freese should make up the difference. This threesome last year clouted 64. homers, and drove in 211 runs between them. The Yankees, who dropped to third place, 15 games from the top, should be a lot better, depending on their pitching and two guys named Mickey Mantle and Bill Skowron, One of these.

years New York is going to get a full season of play from Skowron, minus any injuries. This could be it. If he and Mantle drive in 100 runs apiece the Yankees are going to be tough, even with unpredictable pitching. The addition of second baseman Johnny Temple no doubt has shored up the Cleveland infield, but the feeling is that the Indians paid dearly for it. The loss of Cal McLish has made the sometimes brilliant but often times uncertain Herb Score the oldest starter and he's only 26.

Jim Grant is 24, Gary Bell is 23 and Jim Perry is 24. Jack Harshman, much traveled lefthander is 32, but he starts only in spot, assignments. It's questionable the tribe's young pitching can carry the burden all the way. However, the hitting of Rocky America's Mast Magnificent BourbonGold Jigger-Cap COLD measures perfect full ounce drinks!

This rookie infield of good-glovemay-hit calibre is quite a gamble. Jackie play center field and between Willie TasBrandie by and Gene Woodling. only should stabilize the outfield, but also figures to perk up the hitting. Ex Yankees Hank Bauer, Norm Siebern, Jerry Lumpe, Johnny Kucks, and Don Larsen should enable the Athletics to stay ahead of the Red Sox and Senators. Bud Daley, Ray bert and Ned Garver along with Kucks should comprise a fair mound staff.

The retirement of Jackie Jensen and Sammy White and the semi-retirement of Ted Williams just about wrecks the Red Sox batting attack. Frank Malzone and Pete Runnels are the only established standouts left. The Washington club will nO doubt score a lot of runs again with such home run hitters as Harmon Killebrew, Jim Lemon and Bob Allison. Still, the Senators probably will surrender twice as many runs because of leaky fielding and an undermanned pitching staff. Back to the Sox as a parting shot.

Some skeptics are concerned about the advanced age of the Chicago pitching. True, Early Wynn is 40, Dick Donovan is 32 and reliefers Turk Lown and Gerry Staley are 39 and 35 respectively. And Billy Pierce is 33. But righthander Bob Shaw, an 18-game winner, is 26 as is southpaw Frank Baumann, and Barry Latman is only 23. Don Ferrarese, another probably starter, is 30.

The Pale Hose strength is down the middle from catcher Sherm Lollar to center fielder Jim Landis through the pitching and the Nellie Fox-Luis. Aparicio double play combination. The batting punch is on the corners, first and third base, left and right field. The 1960 National League predictions will be made tomorrow. SIEVERS WELCOME TO THE SOX.

Each homered twice Thursday as the Giants and Senators won spring training games. And it may not be too long before their names turn up frequently in major league baseball boxscores. Both spent last season with Class A minor league teams.

The Giants, who defeated the Boston Red Sox 4-2 at Phoenix, already have a solid starting outfield in Orlando Cepeda, Willie Mays and Willie Kirkland. Need First Baseman The Senators, who whipped Kansas City 10-5 at Orlando, have a definite need for first baseman Mincher. When they sent Roy Sievers to the Chicago White Sox for Earl Battey, Mincher and $150,000, Julio Becquer, a pesky but light hitter, inherited the first base job. Alou is on the roster of the Rio Grande Valley Giants in the Texas League and probably will be sent down. But only Kirkland among the Giants' regular outfielders bats lefthanded, and an injury to, or slump by, Kirkland could give Matty a break.

Matty's second consecutive homer Thursday capped a threerun seventh. DEWEY MOTORS FACTORY DIRECT DEALER DODGE DODGE DART DODGE TRUCKS CHRYSLER IMPERIAL VEDETTE SIMCA N.
